A nice set to Rims.. I want SSR's.. but budget rims will be diamond wheels.

This car also started life as an S2 and got the S3 dash.. Rewired some of it... still need to do the heater...

TII swap possible for under 4K... Just as long as you don't have to buy rims !!!

Here are some pictures.. I did post things in my FC subframe swap but have a few more to share.

Under the hood...


The collection of gauges... and to the right a wiring mess


BOV and E-Fan Switch..




How close the radiator sits to the swaybar


This is how the car looks... Dusty... but not for Long Muhahahahaha





If anyone wants any info on the FC subframe swap..

Shortening the TII transmission.

Modifying the steering rack FC bottom FB top...

Making Swaybar mounts...

S2 to S3 dash swap

or any other misc info relating to this I am glad to help.

 

Can't wait to see it on the road!

 

Good job. I love budget builds (if only I could do one)!

 

Where do all these stunning widebody sevs come from? I might have to come over to North America and have a hunt...

 

widebody turbo FBs FTW!!!!!

 

Time for an update..
As they say a picture is worth a thousand words...
Then a video is worth a thousand pictures...

Enjoy....

No exhaust... just a 3inch DP...

 

Spins those tires pretty easy!

 

Sounds great with just the downpipe, but I bet it is LOUD inside the car! Nive to see it was
done inexpensively, but not cheaply

Wouldn't mind some info on the subframe swap! Most info I see is vague or short.

 

Nicely done and it's pretty quiet for a downpipe only. 3 black wide bodies in this style and I'm the one w/o a turbo, damn.

 

Nice work man really! I need to WideBody my FB.

 

Here is some info gathered, with a few pictures.

Next time I'm going to swap a TII into an FB. Im going to simply swap the front cover, and use the RE-SPEED big brake kit. It will take less time, and you will be able to keep it "unmodified".

 

Keep it coming!

What size DR wheels are you running?
